According to showrunner Craig Mazin and game creator Neil Druckmann, some more of the origin of the fungal infection will be explored.
in a recent interview, Mazin and Druckmann — the latter of whom wrote and co-directed development on the first game — were asked if the origins of the fungus that has spread across Earth would be explored more. According to Druckmann, while the original game didn’t go too far into what had happened, Mazin was curious about what happened, and the show will likely dive into more of what happened.
“Everything we saw in the game was from three characters’ perspective — [Joel’s daughter] Sarah, Joel and Ellie, that’s it,” said Druckmann. “Here, we have the ability leave those characters and show some other stuff, but it was always important to never say, “OK, here is patient zero, the exact origin.” A lot of it is based on hints.
Speaking of the pancakes, the duo was then asked about a very popular theory that popped up following the first episode. The theory stated that it was actually flour that caused the fungus to spread, and used different clues from the first episode to deduce that. When asked, both Druckmann and Mazin confirmed the theory, with Mazin noting “I think it’s pretty explicit” while Druckmann said “we pretty much said yes,” before Mazin explained the origins a bit more.
“When she talks about where these people worked and what was going on in that factory — yeah, it’s pretty clear that’s what’s going on,” Mazin said. “We liked the idea of that science, and we try as best we can to make sure that our research all connects. [The mycologist] asks where it happened, and the guy says a flour factory on the west side of the city.
